Classic Car Overview
60,143 Miles | Original 390ci V8 | Original Red Paint | Documented Ownership Since New
This 1961 Cadillac convertible series 62 was originally purchased new by Ken Betts in California, with the sale documented by an original bill of sale. The car was acquired by the current owner's family in 1989 from Ken Betts, where it has remained for over three decades since. Presenting today with 60,143 miles and an all-original drivetrain, the car is finished in its original red paint over a red and white leather interior, and is offered with its original owner's manual and period documentation, including the original bill of sale. Considered Condition # "Good" on Hagerty's conditions scale.
Exterior
The car wears its original factory red paint, with some minor touch-ups but no repaint. The convertible top is white and was replaced once during the family's ownership; it is not the original top but operates correctly as seen in video.
Interior
The cabin is trimmed in the original red and white leather and reflects its history as a lightly-used weekend car rather than a daily driver. Equipment includes power windows, 6 way power seats, factory air conditioning, and the original radio.
Mechanical
Power comes from Cadillac's original 390ci V8 engine and major mechanical components are original to the car, not replaced or swapped. The car starts, runs, and drives great.
